Not long after calling for the Raven Software team to be axed as a main studio on the Warzone 2 project, Herschel "Dr Disrespect" Beahm has barraged another personal attack on the Call of Duty developers amid claims that they stole a skin from his company's upcoming title.

Recently, Midnight Studios' co-founder Robert Bowling had a word or two to say about a skin that was released into the Vanguard and Warzone stores which drew stark similarities from the only character revealed to be in their game Deadrop.

Dr Disrespect's right-hand man accused Activision of plagiarising the skin, which came as the developers' second compliant of this nature within a month. Now, Dr Disrespect has followed up on their claims, branding his competitors as "slimy".

Dr Disrespect Furious At 'Slimy' Warzone Devs

Deadrop has yet to make many good impressions as a game, but that's not stopping Dr Disrespect standing by what he's building. The two-time took to a recent Warzone game to vent his frustration at Activision, breaking his silence on the matter.

"I’ve checked out of Warzone, not interested. Look how ugly looking this game is," he said on stream.

"They stole a fiction for one of our concept arts just like they stole the fiction of one of our characters. You know what I mean champs? A bunch of slimy guys over here. I don’t like them, I don’t like them," he added.

 

Dr Disrespect Agrees on 'Bogus' Plagiarism

"I'm ready to move on now, the game is a snoozefest," Dr Disrespect added, taking this opportunity to have a dig at the game. 

While his words on the plagiarism claims stopped with the "slimy" insult, he later agreed with his chat that it was "bogus" that Activision have been able to mimic the Deadrop skin.

While it's quite common for FPS shooters to have some similar designs, maybe Activision will double-check with their wide range of designs to avoid another similar fiasco.
